  • Publication number: 20160265488
    Abstract: Gas heat exchanger, in particular for the exhaust gases of an engine, intended for the flow of gases with exchange of heat with a coolant, comprising a gas reservoir (1) having an inlet opening (1a) which can be attached to an end of a casing, an outlet opening (1b) which is connected to a shoulder (2) for connecting to the gas recirculation line, a particle filter (3) for filtering the exhaust gases and associated with the outlet opening (1b) of said gas reservoir (6), and a sealing gasket (4) provided on an outer surface (2a) of the connection shoulder (2). The filter (3) is integral with the gas reservoir (1), thus forming an inseparable single piece suitable for being attached to the casing of the exchanger. The particle filter (3) and the sealing gasket (4) are thus assembled in an optimum manner.

  • Publication number: 20150308387
    Abstract: A gas heat exchanger for the exhaust gases of an engine including a plurality of parallel tubes that are arranged inside a casing and through which flow the gases to be cooled by heat exchange with a coolant, the coolant inlet and outlet conduits being each arranged at an opposing extremity of the casing on a single side of said casing, is disclosed. Each tube has a protuberance opposing the direction of the gases, it being possible to assemble said tubes by stacking them such that the protuberances of the respective tubes form a barrier, in the form of a deflector, intended to create a predetermined pathway guaranteeing an appropriate distribution of the coolant flow from the inlet of same to the outlet of same about the tubes and along the entire length of the exchanger. The distribution of the coolant flow passing through same is improved without the need for conventional deflectors.

  • Publication number: 20150253085
    Abstract: A heat exchanger (1) for gas, in particular the exhaust gases of an engine, comprising a bundle of tubes arranged inside a shell (2) and intended for the circulation of gas with an exchange of heat with at least one stream of refrigerant fluid, said tubes being fixed by their ends between two support plates (5) coupled at each end of the shell (2), and deflection means arranged inside the shell (2) able to direct the at least one stream of refrigerant fluid inside the shell (2). The deflection means comprises a longitudinal deflector (6, 6a) substantially parallel to the tube bundle and intended to divide the shell (2) into two circuits, said deflector (6, 6a) being fixed by its longitudinal edges to the internal walls of the shell (2) and by its transverse edges to the two support plates (5) by welding. This ensures more effective mounting of said deflector inside the exchanger.
